This is an excellent addition to the convo around becoming an LRW prof. I agree w/ everything @IreneTenCate says here, and want to link to a few key articles re where our profession needs to do better. /1
In particular, @genremixtress’s scholarship about being an LRW prof of color is required reading for everyone in legal academia. /2
Start with “On Writing Wrongs: Legal Writing Professors of Color and the Curious Case of 405(c).” /3 jle.aals.org/home/vol66/iss…
Then “Writing at the Master’s Table: Reflections on Theft, Criminalitu, and Otherness in the Legal Writing Profession.” /4 drexel.edu/law/lawreview/…
I see that @genremixtress has a follow up that I haven’t read, but plan to get to today, “Still Writing at the Master’s Table: Decolonizing Rhetoric in Legal Writing For a ‘Woke’ Legal Academy.” /5 papers.ssrn.com/sol3/papers.cf…
Also make sure to read @profallentweets on “The ‘Pink Ghetto’ Pipeline: Challenges and Opportunities for Women in Legal Ecucation.” /6 papers.ssrn.com/sol3/papers.cf…
And finally, “Challenged X3: The Stories of Women of Color Who Teach Legal Writing,” by Lorraine Bannai. (Thanks to @genremixtress for bringing this one to my attention) /6 digitalcommons.law.seattleu.edu/faculty/472/
Please add your own suggestions! /fin
